Portwest GP Grip 15 Nitrile Micro Foam Dotted Glove

Combining the precision fit of a 15-gauge liner with the enhanced grip performance of a dotted nitrile micro foam palm, the Portwest GP Grip 15 Nitrile Micro Foam Dotted Glove (A371) is a comprehensively certified, feature-rich work glove built for precision handling across dry, wet, and oily conditions. With touchscreen compatibility, Texpel Micro antimicrobial treatment, machine washability with certified post-wash performance, OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 approval, and a fully latex and phthalate free construction, the A371 delivers an exceptional breadth of performance and safety credentials for professionals who demand the highest standards from their hand protection.

Dotted Nitrile Micro Foam Palm — Enhanced Grip Meets Precision Feel

The A371's defining performance feature is its dotted nitrile micro foam palm coating — a dual-action grip system that combines the conforming, tactile properties of washed nitrile micro foam with the mechanical grip enhancement of a raised dot pattern overlay. The micro foam layer conforms closely to surface textures, maximising contact area and tactile sensitivity for detailed, precision-oriented handling tasks, while the dot pattern adds a further dimension of friction and grip security across a wide range of materials and surface conditions.

Together, the micro foam and dot construction deliver confident, reliable grip performance in wet, dry, and oily conditions — making the A371 the enhanced-grip evolution of the standard micro foam palm, suited to environments where grip demands are that bit more exacting.

15-Gauge Nylon and Latex-Free Elastane Liner

The glove is built on a 15-gauge nylon and latex-free elastane knit liner that delivers a close, precise fit with the dexterity, sensitivity, and comfort required for detailed handling and assembly tasks. The 15-gauge construction sits at the fine end of the gauge spectrum — providing the tactile feedback of a lightweight glove alongside the structural durability of a professional-grade work glove. Nylon's high tensile strength and elastane's natural stretch and recovery combine to produce a liner that fits securely, moves naturally with the hand, and retains its shape and performance across repeated use and laundering cycles.

ANSI/ISEA Abrasion Level 6 — Maximum Abrasion Resistance

The A371's dotted nitrile micro foam construction delivers outstanding mechanical durability, achieving an ANSI/ISEA 105:2016 Abrasion Level 6 rating — the highest level achievable under this standard. This exceptional abrasion resistance significantly extends the working life of each pair in demanding industrial environments, delivering superior cost-per-wear performance for high-consumption operations compared to lower-rated alternatives. The dotted construction contributes meaningfully to this elevated abrasion performance, reinforcing the palm surface in the areas of highest wear.

Touchscreen Compatible — Stay Connected Without Removing Your Gloves

The A371 features touchscreen-compatible fingertips that allow seamless, accurate operation of most mobile touchscreen devices — including phones, tablets, handheld scanners, and digital terminals — without the need to remove the glove. In modern production, warehousing, logistics, and inspection environments where touchscreen devices are central to daily workflow, this capability eliminates the constant productivity interruption and hand exposure risk of repeated glove removal throughout the shift.

Texpel Micro Antimicrobial Finish — Kills 99.9% of Bacteria

The A371 is treated with a Texpel Micro antimicrobial finish that kills 99.9% of bacteria on the glove surface — an advanced hygiene feature that is particularly valuable in food handling, pharmaceutical, cleanroom, and hygiene-sensitive environments. The antimicrobial treatment reduces the risk of cross-contamination, extends the hygienic working life of each pair, and supports workplace hygiene compliance at a level that untreated gloves cannot provide.

Machine Washable to 30°C — EN 388 Certified After Three Washes

The A371 is machine washable to 30°C and — critically — certified to EN 388 after three wash cycles, providing independently verified assurance that the glove maintains its mechanical protection performance through repeated laundering. For sustainability-conscious operations looking to reduce single-use PPE waste and lower the ongoing cost of hand protection, this combination of washability and certified post-wash performance makes the A371 both an environmentally responsible and economically sound choice.

100% Latex Free and Phthalate Free

The A371 is 100% latex free, eliminating the risk of latex allergy reactions and making it safe for use across diverse workforces without restriction or exclusion. It is also fully phthalate free — confirming the absence of phthalate plasticisers that are subject to increasing regulatory restriction and health concern in occupational and consumer safety contexts. For procurement managers and safety officers managing compliance with evolving chemical safety requirements, phthalate-free certification provides a meaningful and increasingly important assurance.

Breathable, High-Wicking Moisture Management

The A371's construction incorporates breathable, high-wicking moisture management that actively draws perspiration away from the skin during extended wear — keeping hands drier, more comfortable, and less prone to the irritation and fatigue that excess moisture causes during long or physically demanding working shifts.

Low Linting Construction for Minimal Contamination

The low linting construction of the A371 minimises fibre shedding during use — a critical requirement for cleanroom, electronics assembly, pharmaceutical, and precision manufacturing environments where particulate contamination of products, components, or surfaces must be strictly controlled.

Dermatologically Tested for Skin-Friendly All-Day Wear

The A371 is dermatologically tested to confirm it is skin-friendly and comfortable for sustained all-day wear without causing irritation — an important assurance for workers with sensitive skin or those wearing gloves throughout extended shifts. Combined with OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification confirming the absence of harmful substances across every component of the glove, the A371 offers a level of material safety assurance that goes well beyond standard CE certification.

Contact Heat Protection Up to 100°C

The A371 provides certified protection against contact heat up to 100°C, adding a practical thermal safety dimension for workers in environments where incidental contact with warm surfaces, heated machinery, or hot components is a regular occurrence alongside the glove's primary grip and protection functions.

Ideal For: Precision manufacturing, electronics assembly, warehousing and logistics, cleanroom environments, pharmaceutical production, inspection and quality control, and any application requiring enhanced dotted grip performance alongside touchscreen compatibility, antimicrobial treatment, and latex-free certified hand protection.
